Anyone have this problem with their plasma TV?

I disagree its a panny issue, I have a panny in one of my system's, and it has never had that problem. It has never been connected to cable, so it cannot be the television.

Panasonic plasma's are highly rated and well tested across their entire line of set's. This problem is not widely reported as far as I have seen when it comes to the set directly. Since it can easily reproduce 1080p with no problems, there is nothing in cable's 720p or 1080i(which requires less processing than 1080p) than can trip that set up, action or not.

That cannot be said for cable boxes, which have widely noted HDMI issues, and no where near the processing power of a 1080p television set. 1080i(the maximum resolution of cable boxes) are only required to have half the processing power of 1080p televisions, as they are only processing half of the 1080 line frame at a time.

Lastly, Panny's RPTV processing power requirements are exactly the same as a cable box outputting 1080i, as that is the maximum resolution that both can output. If I was going to blame processing power, I could not(with any credibility)blame the plasma.

...on the same channel (Versus) and had no issues. If this was a TV problem, why would it only happen the one time? I've watched numerous football and hockey games, both with plenty of fast action, and never had a problem until that one game. I'm now believing it was the cable box, which I returned to Comcast and replaced.

Comcast is notoriously bad with handling feeds from network stations. They also have poor QC on the boxes as well. I don't get it with them, all you have to do is follow HDMI protocol, and you won't have issues with HDMI. All you have to do is include the neccesary processing power for 720p or 1080i, and the boxes don't go whacky when the buffer gets full.

Never had such problems with my COMCAST BOX.
Only started to die after four years from old age, pretty much like yourself.
And my new box has a lot more storage and features, and works more smoothly.
Except for one minor detail, which is easy to understand in such a complicated device.
